Photoshop tool is gone!

I often used the Photoshop tool to batch process. Now that it's gone, I'm not sure what to do. How do I get it back?
Via:
Tools / Photoshop / Image Processor
Tools / Photoshop / Batch

Brian:
You can modify the size and intensity of the retouch and red eye tool as follows:
How to Change the Size of the Retouch and Red-Eye Removal Tool
Type Caps lockControl9
Undo caps lock
Click on Retouch tool
The tab key will toggle between cursor types, a cross or a circle
The "[" and "]" keys decrease or increase the size accordingly.
NOTE: Using the "{" "}" keys will will change the value next to the circle and that represents the degree of change or intensity that the tool imparts on each pass.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

Extract tool is gone - what's the best tool to use now ?

Hello everyone,
for those who extract subjects from backgrounds on a regular basis, what tool do you now using, seeing the Extract tool is gone in CS4 ?
Thanks you for tips,
Dave.

Quick Select tool works well for many cases. Secret is to use small brush size and mark both the selected areas (with the + tool) and the non-selected areas (with the - tool).
If you can't find something that satisfies you, you can install Extract from the CS4 Extras. This will be on your PS install disk or in the Extras you downloaded if you purchased and downloaded online.
If you still can't find it, Russell Brown has the extra files on his site. There are also good tutorials for just about any extract/masking/knockout method you can think of.

Here is a link to John Nack's blog that also talks about the "missing" features and how to find most of them if you really miss them.

Bridge updated unexpectedly, now Photoshop Tools don't work

Hi, all;
I have Web Premium CS 5.5, which I am quite happy with, but I also have a Cloud subscription so that I can use CS products on my laptop (my management decided it was easier to do that than dig up the physical media when my laptop was purchased).
Recently, I needed InDesign (not part of Web Premium) and installed it from my Cloud subscription. Now, when I select Browse folder with Adobe Bridge, it brings up the CS6 version, not the CS5.5 version. I wouldn't mind much, but the PhotoShop tools menu item doesn't appear (this is about 50% of what I do with Bridge). I can manually open the CS 5.5 version, but of course this is not as convenient as the right-click option, plus the CS 5.5 version is no longer stable (it crashes a lot).
How do I either get the PhotoShop Tools menu to work in Bridge? Alternatively, how can I get the right-click menu to point to my unstable version of 5.5? I can live with the instability if I can keep it open long enough to at least do what I need to do.
Thanks;
Amy

if PhotoShop tools can't be made to work properly from Bridge CS6, launching CS 5.1 from the right-click menu would be an alternate fix that would be acceptable.
Bridge works version specific, so CS6 is not easy to use with CS5.5 due to the start up scripts used for the menu Tools. Indesign, Illustrator and I believe also Premiere Pro are the other applications capable of working with Bridge and when only installing one of these apps from the Creative Cloud they also install Bridge CS6 form the Creative Cloud.
All settings for some reason auto select the newest version, on a Mac for example the finder always used to set itself to the latest installed Photoshop version as default application to pen with, I recall this was hard to avoid, maybe it is still the issue.
However you still have the CS5.5 installed that will offer the wished behavior.
You could try to start Bridge CS5.5 manual and the restart Photoshop holding down shiftoptionCommand (Mac, don't know the Windows equivalent) to reset its preferences and force them to the open CS5.5.
But personally I would not use the Browse in Bridge command in PS itself. I always have both Bridge and PS active and running from log in and never use the Browse in Bridge command.
Using this command does need to open Bridge or auto switches to the latest version, Having Bridge already up and running saves time in caching and with a work space customized with a folder panel in view is much easier to navigate
And of course, there is no objection to download also PSCS6 from the CC, I really don't agree with earlier versions being better. Only Bridge CS3 was a very bad version, yet it was in its way better then the first version of Bridge that appeared in CS2. CS3 had much more options but was very unstable (not unusable if you dumped the cache and prefs every few weeks).
The difference between Bridge CS5.5 and CS6 is a different Cache structure. It claims to be again faster and more stable but some Windows users on this forum sadly enough can't confirm this due to slow criteria building.
Personally I experience CS6 faster and better then CS5

MY TOOLS ARE GONE?

I opened mty illustrator CS5 this morning and all of my tools are gone and under window there is no option to bring them back? Anyone had this happen to them and if so how do I fix it?

What happens to the cursor when you hit any of these keys T V M (shortcuts for text tool, move tool, shape tool)
The cursor changes appearance:
Window Workspace>> Essentials
Cursor does not change appearance
Run disk utility and fix permissions
Before you reinstall, delete your preferences as per the previous posts

CC Bridge Tools Menu - Photoshop option is gone.

In Photoshop cc bridge menu tools - image proccessor does not exist - It is now called "process collections in photoshop" - when clicked on it says "error - cannot load alignmentlib" and then returns to where I was before I clicked on tools.

Make sure in preferences/startup scirpts you have at least a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop

PS CS3 - working on client pc and the eraser tool has gone pixelated ?

Working onsite on a clients pc - and suddenly using the erraser toll it has gone all pixleated !! grrr
I have open PS with resetting all tools, the just resetting the eraser tolls. cannot for th elife of me able to get it back to a smooth blend ?
Tired and frustrated - any helpers please.
oh its PS CS3 !!

Firstly - thanks folks - Got up this morning with great suggestion to get this sorted today.
1) eraser tool is set to Brush op=100% and Flow 100%
Mode is -= CmYK (ticked to 8 bit - changed to 16 bit no change)
So will have a go at resetting preferences. read this and did the restart holding Alt, Ctrl, and Shif. So will find the prefs.psp !
If you have larger troubles, hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file.
A2: You can also simply search your hard drive for a *.psp file and delete it. It will be called something along the lines of "Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp".
Thanks again folks - but I am still a stressed bunny !

Problem with opening "Photoshop tools" in Bridge

hello, when I use Bridge and I tried to use the photoshop's tools after selecting an image, photoshop doesn't open. could it be a problem of permissions? I use windows 7.

If both Bridge and Photoshop scripts are checked, and computer rebooted since selections were made, then perhaps you need to reset preferences for Bridge. Hold down the crtl key and start bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.
By a tool I am assuming something like Image Processor. Sorry if I ask stupid questions, but believe me many times concepts get lost in translation to the screen.

Adobe photoshop tools not working on a Surface tablet randomly?

I just installed CC Adobe photoshop on my Surface Pro 3 tablet and it has been nothing but frustration. For reasons I cannot discern, the tools do not work on my image at random times. I'll have smudges on one of the layers, and I choose the eraser tool and it won't erase anything in any layer. I can't draw anything with a brush or pencil either. In fact the tools stop working altogether. Yes the layer is active and visible, no it's not locked. Very frustrating, and I'm at wits end. The only thing I've been able to do is save my work in stages, and go back to the previous stage if this happens. Is there a glitch on the Surface pro 3 with photoshop that causes it to not respond?

I was having the same trouble, so i went to Adobe Help's Preferences > General Settings and switched to Display Local Help content only = Yes. As it says there, it disables the online links, but if you have an updated version of Help downloaded, it's easier and quicker anyway than the online system, and likely all you were needing anyway. You can always turn it back on later.

Photoshop tools dont respond after Windows 7 pro 64 bit installed

     I have the Abobe creative suite CS4 web premium student edition and I have recently upgraded to the Windows 7 professional 64 bit OS. Some of my tools in each program do not respond to clicks. In the Photoshop program my cursor in each tool is broken apart and I see 3 of the object such as an arrow or hand. Very difficult to fine tune anything. This is just one of the issues of many.
     I have tried to RESET the settings file by holding CTRL-SHIFT-ALT on startup and it had no effect. I've tried reinstalling my display drivers, upgrading my display and motherboard drivers from NVIDIA, formatting the Hard drive and reinstalling my operating system, and lastly I have tried reinstalling my Adobe Collection.
     I've run out of answers and need help.

Please post your query in the Photoshop forum.

How do I get back PHOTOSHOP TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?

I used the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5 all the time. I upgraded my InDesign to CS5.5 and with it I was automatically upgraded to Bridge CS5.1 but now ther is no longer a PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS. When I try to open the older Bridge CS5, it automatically opens CS5.1. How can I get back the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?
Thanks for any information you might provide.

How can I get back the PHOTOSHOP option under TOOLS in Bridge CS5.1?
It seems related to the different versions and their start up scripts. First check Bridge Preferences Start Up Scripts has a PS script showing and see if the checkmark in front is checked. If not you have to copy the old script in the new location. Not sure if this works and without knowing if you have a Mac or Windows. For a Mac there is library at root level (so not in the user account).
Here is the path: HD/Library/ Application Support/ Adobe / Start Up scripts. You probably have two folders, one called CS5 and one called CS5.5. Try to copy (copy, not move) the Photoshop script to the CS5.5 folder and try if that works. Theoretically Bridge 4.1 (that comes with CS5.5 - yes it is a bit confusing) should recognize the scripts. And basically Bridge 4 (CS5) and Bridge 4.1 (CS5.5) are the same. But If you set Bridge 4.0 it will probably not recognize the new InDesign start up scripts.

Photoshop tools 'wacky' in 5.5, moving from CS3

I'm used to the tool behavior in CS3 Photoshop but 5.5 has left me dead in the water. I mainly want to know why I can't use the select tool with shift-select to marquee the area that I want to zoom into. Instead, it does some wild zoom in and out when I move the cursor up or down on the screen. How can I just marquee select the area I want to zoom into? Hopefully this can be fixed by setting preferences or something easy.
Also, another headache that has stopped my workflow: I cannot move an item just pasted into an image and on its own layer, by using the move tool. The move tool has become a hand and moves everything including the unselected layer below as well as the item on the layer above that I wanted to move independently of the layer below. Selecting 'transform' does not allow independent moving either, nor does it allow me to transform or change the size of the newly pasted object.
Please help, as I am seriously needing to go back to CS3 to get any work done. I would like to be able to get these things working in CS5.5 but this is the default behavior that I am faced with now that I've upgraded.
TIA,
Ken

You might want to read the release notes, and browse the help file for things that are new and changed in CS5.
In the meantime, go to preferences and turn off the scrubby zoom so you get back to the older style zoom you're used to.
The hand tool is not the move tool. You're using the wrong shortcut.
It might seem simple to those who know their way around, but I need help in every way:
Where are the 'release notes' located?
Once I find those I'm sure it will be a help. Thank You for that Chris.
Browsing the help file is something I never do, I go to the help file for specific things mostly, but how would I word this request for using the 'move tool' I call it the move tool but it is the tool at the top of the tool bar if it is stacked vertically as I use it off to the left side of the screen. That is the tool I used to use to move things and work with the edges in the transform box if one of those is active. That part just seems to be missing entirely. I had to finish this project today and had to go back to CS3 and thank goodness I left it active on my system.
Next subject "Scrubby Zoom" i wonder why that isn't left as an option rather than a default now, which kind of throws it at you from left field for the new user. I call myself a new user as this Photoshop has been rearranged into a new program - until I find out how to set the gizmos back to how I like to work with them. I love Photoshop, but am reminded of the old Chinese saying: "If it ain't broke don't fix it."
Next and last of three subjects: I know the hand tool is not the move tool, but when I select the move tool (top at the left vertical choices of tools in the toolbar again) the cursor is the hand tool and does not change by any use of any modifier keys. Are you saying that there is a 'shortcut' that sets this? How is this 'shortcut' accessed? Is it a keyboard command?
If I can conquer and gain control of these two mystifying behaviors over tools that behaved much differently in CS3, I will be the most happy man on earth.
Thank You,
Ken

Help! My "blur" tool has gone missing, how do I recover it??

I cant find my blur tool in photoshop, how do I recover it?

You need to work a little harder at helping others help you. It cannot be done by texting one line at a time.
Take the time to capture your screen to show what you are seeing. It's very easy to post images here via the little camera icon just above the edit box in the web interface.
